What is your role at Bridges?
I am the 'Employability' Personal Development Worker, ie anything to do with finding jobs, I'm your woman!

What was you first full-time job?
Trudging door-to-door collecting money for the Irish Epilepsy Association...it was horrible!!

What are your hobbies?
I dance Argentine Tango (when I have the chance) - NOT the 'rose-through-the-teeth', strictly-come-dancing, ballroom type. Think more BBC advert with dancers in the rain - that's my teacher in the front couple! I always say hill-walking is one of my hobbies, but actually if I am honest I'm far too lazy and only manage to get to the top of Arthur's Seat, panting and gasping about once a year.

Tell us something interesting about yourself
I have an Irish name that nobody can pronounce and regulrly get called 'Nymph', with Nee-am-hah' coming a close second (it's pronounced Neev, by the way!!)

Favourite Music Artists:
I am a big Bob Dylan fan. I also like David Bowie, The Gorrilaz, Gnarls Barklay, music from Mali, tango music:the Gotan Project, Bajafondo Tango Club....but have to admit to some dire music phases in my life, including short-lived obsessions with Def Leppard, Metalica and Vixen. Even more shamefully, I once bought a Jason Donovan Album.

What was the last CD you bought?
'Bwomboi' Rokia Traore and 'St Elsewhere' by Gnarls Barklay.

If you could have any famous person play you in a film, who would it be?
No idea!! It used to be Sigourney Weaver because my hair was as short as hers in Alien.

What's your all time favourite film?
Too many to choose from...Hedwig and Angry Inch maybe, but loved Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Dogville was absolute genius and Cannibal the Musical (from the makers of South Park) is hilarious. I am also a sucker for all 80'sfilms, Dirty Dancing, The Crow, The Lost Boys.

What was the last film you saw?
Little Miss Sunshine, a comedy about American child beauty pageants. Very Funny

Who would your ideal boss be?
Me!!!!
